Commission Members present- Buesgens, Fiorendino, Hoium, and Szurek. Members absent: Schill Also present were Elizabeth Holmbeck (Planner), and Shelley Hanson (Secretary) along with Council Liaison, John Murzyn. Motion by Buesgens, seconded by Hoium, to approve the minutes from the meeting of November 1, 2016. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. PUBLIC HEARINGS CASE NO.: 2016 -1201 APPLICANT: Thomas Brama LOCATION: 4400 Stinson Blvd REQUEST: Preliminary /Final Plat Holmbeck stated that a few months ago, Brama sought approval for a Plat that proposed 7 lots, that was later approved for 6. At this time, Thomas Brama has requested a revised Preliminary and Final Plat for the property located at 4400 Stinson Blvd. NE. The site is currently comprised of 2 lots. The applicant is proposing to remove the existing lot line, and re -plat the property to result in five single family residential lots. Once the plat has been approved, the applicant is proposing to keep the existing home on one of the newly created lots and build 4 new single family residential homes on the remaining newly created lots. ZONING ORDINANCE The site is currently comprised of two lots. The properties are located in the R1, Single Family Residential Zoning District. The properties to the north, south and west are also located in the Rl, Single Family Residential Zoning District. The properties to the east are located in the City of St. Anthony. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for Low Density Residential Development. The City's Comprehensive Plan aims to identify new areas that can support single family housing and to encourage newer higher valued housing opportunities to provide move -up housing for existing and new residents. Re- platting the property to allow for the construction of new single family homes is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. DESIGN GUIDELINES The subject property is not located in the Design Guideline Overlay District and as such, is not governed by the Design Guideline standards. FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104 (L), (M) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines conditions that must be met in order for the City to grant a Preliminary and Final Plat. They are as follows: 28 P & Z Minutes Page 2 December 6, 2016 (a) The proposed preliminary plat conforms with the requirements of § 9.115. The proposed Preliminary Plat meets the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance (b) The proposed subdivision is consistent with the comprehensive plan. This is correct. The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for low- density Residential. (c) The proposed subdivision contains parcel and land subdivision layout that is consistent with good planning and site engineering design principles. This is correct. The proposed subdivision meets the Cit)"s requirements in terms of lot dimension and lot width. (d) The Final Plat substantially conforms to the corresponding Preliminary Plat. This is correct. Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the proposed Preliminary and Final Plat for the property located at 4400 Stinson Boulevard NE. Questions from Members: The members had no questions at this time. Public Hearing Opened. Szurek asked people who wished to speak to limit their comments to 3 -5 minutes and to provide their name and address for the record. Scott & Kathy Weckwerth from 4417 Benjamin St said they live right behind the site. They purchased their home there because of the large wooded lots in the neighborhood. They enjoy the quiet, natural surroundings they have, and believe the addition of 4 homes on that site will change the entire neighborhood, and will also detract from the adjoining Park/beach area that serves surrounding communities. She said most people in the area have double lots and if everyone decides to split their lots and develop them, it will change the natural look of the area which is hard to find in a City setting, and possibly affect the values of the properties in the area. Szurek told them the owner has met all the requirements of the City Codes and Comprehensive Plan and it is his right to develop the property as he wishes, as it would be the right of any owner who can meet those same requirements. She stated that there is never a guarantee that properties, or a view, will stay the same. Szurek asked the owner, Tom Brama, what improvements he has made to the existing home. He said he put in new windows, heating system, and remodeled the interior. He still has to replace the siding and also has to run a new sewer line to the house as the existing one has collapsed. Brama told members he plans on living in that house once he gets that done. 29 P & Z Minutes Page 3 December 6, 2016 Public Hearing Closed. Fiorendino told the audience that the Planning & Zoning Commission is a recommending body only and that the City Council is the approving body for this case.

REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit - Dynamic LED Sign Holmbeck explained that Indigo Sign Works on behalf of Holiday Station Stores is requesting a Conditional Use Permit per Code Section 9.106 (P) (13) (C) to allow a dynamic light emitting diode (LED) sign in conjunction with a commercial establishment for the property located at 4259 Central Avenue NE. Holiday Station Stores is repainting the building and canopy on the site to reflect the store's modern look. The current white will be replaced with a light beige color and the pylon sign will be removed. The applicant is requesting to replace the pylon sign with a monument sign, which will include an LED component which will allow the business to display business related advertising. A dynamic LED sign would include any components of a sign that appear to have movement or that appear to change, caused by a method other than physically removing and replacing the sign or its components. This also includes any moving, flashing, blinking or animated display and any display that incorporates LED lights manipulated through digital input, "digital ink" or any other method or technology that allows the sign face to present a series of images or displays. ZONING ORDINANCE The property located at 4259 Central Avenue NE is zoned GB, General Business. The properties to the north, south and west are zoned General Business and Limited Business, and the properties to the east are zoned One and Two Family Residential. Dynamic LED signs are permitted in the General Business Zoning District as a Conditional Use in conjunction with a commercial establishment. A rendering of the proposed sign, and location map is attached for review. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan designates this property for commercial uses. The proposed sign is consistent with the types of uses guided for this zoning district. DESIGN GUIDELINES The subject property is located within the Design Guideline Overlay District, and is governed by the "Highway District" standards within the Design Guidelines. The following standards are specific design requirements for signs in the Design Guideline Overlay District: Signs should be architecturally compatible with the style, composition, materials, colors and details of the building, and with other signs on nearby buildings. Signs should be an integral part of the building and site design. Wall and projecting signs should be positioned so they are an integral design feature of the building, and to complement and enhance the building's architectural features. Signs should not obscure or destroy architectural details such as stone arches, glass transom panels, or decorative brickwork. 32 P & Z Minutes Page 6 December 6, 2016 Signs may be placed: • In the horizontal lintel above the storefront windows • Within window glass, provided that no more than 25 percent of any individual window is obscured • Projecting from the building • As part of an awning • In areas where signs were historically attached Wall signs should generally be rectangular. In most cases, the edges of signs shall include a raised border that sets the sign apart from the building. Individual raised letters set onto the sign area surface are also preferred. Projecting signs may be designed in a variety of shapes. Sign colors shall be compatible with the building facade to which the sign is attached. No more than three colors should be used per sign, unless part of an illustration. To ensure the legibility of the sign, a high degree of contrast between the background and letters is preferable. A combination of soft /neutral shades and darkhich shades are encouraged. Sign materials should be consistent or compatible with the original construction materials and architectural style of the building facade on which they are to be displayed. Natural materials such as wood and metal are more appropriate than plastic. Neon signs may be appropriate for windows. External illumination of signs is permitted by incandescent, metal halide or fluorescent light that emits a continuous white light. Light shall not shine directly onto the ground or adjacent buildings. Neon signs are permitted. Internally lit box signs and awnings are not permitted, with the exception of theater marquees. Variable electronic message signs are not permitted, with the exception of existing time /temperature signs. Ground or monument signs are encouraged rather than pylon signs. Sign materials, colors and architectural detailing should be similar to those of the principal building. The area around the base of the sign should be landscaped. FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104 (H) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines nine conditions that must be met in order for the City Council to grant a Conditional Use Permit. They are as follows: (a) The use is one of the conditional uses listed for the zoning district in which the property is located, or is a substantially similar use as deten-nined by the Zoning Administrator. Dynamic LED signs are specifically listed as a Conditional Use in the GB, General Business Zoning District. (b) The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area for commercial uses. The use is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan as the sign is proposed for a commercial establishment. (c) The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties. The proposed use will not result in any additional noise and should not disrupt neighboring properties. In order to mitigate any potential disturbances, the City's Zoning Code outlines specific development standards that address the operation of dynamic LED signs. 33 P & Z Minutes Page 7 December 6, 2016 (d) The use will not substantially diminish the use of the property in the immediate vicinity. The use ofproperty in the immediate vicinity will not be diminished by the placement of an LED sign at 4259 Central Avenue NE. (e) The use will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained in a manner that is compatible with the appearance of the existing or intended character of the surrounding area. The applicant will have to abide by specific development standards as they relate to LED signs. These standards will help ensure compatibility with the appearance of the existing surrounding area. (f) The use and property upon which the use is located are adequately served by essential public facilities and services. This is correct (g) Adequate measures have been or will be taken to minimize traffic congestion on the public streets and to provide for appropriate on -site circulation of traffic. The use of a dynamic LED sign at this location is not anticipated to affect traffic. (h) The use will not cause a negative cumulative effect, when considered in conjunction with the cumulative effect of other uses in the immediate vicinity. The dynamic LED sign will have to adhere to specific development standards. It is intended that the use will not cause a negative cumulative effect. (i) The use complies with all other applicable regulations for the districts in which it is located. This is correct. Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the proposed dynamic LED sign for Holiday Station stores, located at 4259 Central Avenue NE. Questions from Members: Hoium asked if the new sign would interfere with vehicles turning off 43rd Ave. Holmbeck told members that Condition #9 addresses this matter. She showed members a map of the area depicting a 30 foot sight triangle to prevent visual obstructions, and she stated that the Sign Contractor is also aware of this. Holmbeck told members that she will make sure the Building Official also checks on this when he does his footing inspection before the sign is actually placed to ensure compliance. Fiorendino asked when construction of the sign would take place. The contractor stated they will proceed as soon as it is approved by the City Council on December 12t". He also assured members that the new sign will be placed further away from the street than the existing sign is. Szurek reiterated that she doesn't want the new sign blocking visibility of vehicles turning south off 43rd Ave. 34 P & Z Minutes Page 8 December 6, 2016 Public Hearing Opened.

CASE NO: 2016 -1203 APPLICANT: 500, LLC., Property Owner LOCATION: 3989 Central Avenue, 3889 Central Avenue, 950 40"' Avenue REQUEST: Zoning Amendment - Rezoning Holmbeck told members that 500 LLC., owner of the property at 3989 Central Avenue NE. has petitioned the City of Columbia Heights to change the zoning designation of site from `Central Business' to `Mixed Use'. This change would accommodate the relocation of Prodeo Academy to the site. Prodeo Academy, a kindergarten — fourth grade charter school currently located within First Lutheran Church, would occupy a portion of the first and second floors, and the entire third floor, serving as an anchor tenant in the building. Nancy Aleksuk, representative of the owner, states that retail and commercial uses are anticipated for the Central Avenue - facing portion of the first floor of the building, and that commercial office users are anticipated to occupy upper - stories of the building. Aleksuk anticipates bringing exterior renderings of the property before the Planning and Zoning Commission in early 2017 as part of the official Site Plan approval process. FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104(F)(5) requires four findings of fact to be made when a zoning amendment petition is made. The findings of fact are as follows: (a) The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan 38 P & Z Minutes Page 12 December 6, 2016 The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for "Commercial ". It has been repeatedly demonstrated throughout the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area that mixed use zoning is consistent with, and primarily comprised of, commercial development. In Columbia Heights, mixed use zoning permits residential, commercial and institutional uses. Currently, both commercial and residential uses are permitted on this property. (b) The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a single property owner. The Northeast Business Center is the largest commercial building in Columbia Heights, and serves as an anchor for our downtown area. The building is unique in that it is the only multi- story, non - residential building along the Central Avenue corridor. Allowing a mix of uses to facilitate occupancy and redevelopment of the building is in the public's interest. (C) Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, the existing use of the property and the zoning classification of property within the general area of the property in question are compatible with the proposed zoning classification. Unfortunately, the building is currently vacant and not in use. The proposed redevelopment will include only uses that are permissible within the Mixed Use Zoning District. (D) Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, there has been a change in the character or trend of development in the general area of the property in question, which has taken place since such property was placed in its current zoning classification. Increasingly, multi -story buildings are including a wide variety of users, including educational institutions. In fact, an educational institution had occupied this building (despite an inconsistency with the Central Business Zoning classification) in the past. Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the proposed rezoning of the property located at 3989 Central Avenue, 3889 Central Avenue, 950 40th Avenue, based on the aforementioned findings of fact. Questions from members; Buesgens said she thinks a Mixed Use Zoning is appropriate for this site. She thinks it will draw other business to the area. She does, however, have concerns about the cars and buses that will line up to drop off and pick up students. She said she believes this will cause congestion on Central and 44tl' Avenue which are both very busy at that time of day. Holmbeck said staff had the same concerns also, but re- zoning the property to Mixed Use probably makes the best sense long term for this corner. She told members that the owner will need to provide detailed information on how they will address the increased traffic due to parents and buses, as well as where the loading and unloading zone will be as part of their Site Plan approval process. The Re- zoning opens up the building for other possibilities as it will add permitted uses from the General Business District, the Limited Business District, as well as the existing Central Business District. She explained that it allows for office use, retail, as well as educational /institutional, and that the site must have at least two of these uses. 39 P & Z Minutes Page 13 December 6, 2016 Fiorendino asked what the Mall to the north is zoned. Holmbeck told him it was zoned Central Business District as are most of the properties along Central from 39 "' to 42"d Avenue. Fiorendino asked what the history of the property has been for commercial use. Holmbeck said it was originally used as office space and the entire building had been leased out. However, over time tenants moved out and other uses were added, but it is now outdated and is entirely vacant since NE Bank moved out. Fiorendino said he has concerns about putting a school in there for a variety of reasons. He asked Holmbeck to again explain the process they will need to go through in order for that to happen. Holmbeck said the owners will need to go through the Site Plan process, whereby they will need to provide renderings of all interior and exterior changes, information about where office space will be located, where retail space would be located and specific information about play areas, ingress and egress of the occupants, as well as traffic patterns, parking, etc. This will all be reviewed by the Commission for approval of the Site Plan. Szurek said she travels near 41 st Avenue & Tyler where the school is presently located and noted how congested it is during drop off and pick up times. She said she believes it will be worse at this site since Central and 40"' Ave are both busy streets. She doesn't feel buildings such as these, or spaces in malls, are appropriate locations for schools because they lack room for buses and play areas for kids. Szurek stated she doesn't understand why schools want to locate in these types of facilities. She understands the building owner wanting to fill the building, but doesn't think this is a good use. The activity and noise generated are not conducive to attracting other office or retail tenants. Public Hearing Opened. Randy Valtinson from 5027 7`1' Street said if they meet the rules he would like to see the building occupied and updated. Joe Mack from 3943Van Buren said the businesses that were in that building left because they didn't like the Alternative School that was located there. They got tired of the kids hanging out in areas around the building and felt it had an impact on the employees and patrons of the other businesses. Nancy Aleksuk from 500 LLC and Swervo Development was present to answer questions. Rick from Prodeo Academy was also present to address questions regarding the relocation of the school. They said they plan to use the alley at the back of the building for the school buses and parents to drop off or pick up students. Szurek said the plan looks good on paper, but doesn't believe they will be able to control where parents park to do this. They will pull up wherever they can and it will only add to the congestion at that intersection at the most congested times of the day. Aleksuk said they believe they have enough room in the alley to stack 4 buses, plus vehicles. Szurek said she doesn't feel that is a safe plan to have kids walking in between vehicles and buses, plus it would block the alleyway which she thought was a public access. Beusgens agreed that traffic will be an issue if a school is placed in this building, especially if they plan on expanding. Fiorendino asked what other uses would be permitted in this building. Holmbeck again told members that office space, retail, and institutional business uses that are now permitted in General Business, Limited Business, or Central Business Districts. 40 P & Z Minutes Page 14 December 6, 2016 Public Hearing Closed.

Since we are getting more and more of these, she felt it is important to have a tool so that Staff can make sure they are in compliance. The other members agreed that staff should look into obtaining one. Holmbeck said shew ill bring it up to the Director. 3. Buesgens asked if other members thought it appropriate to request a moratorium be placed on the issuance of any additional rental licenses to give staff time to gather information on the percentage of properties that are now rental, the density of rentals in neighborhoods, and whether future licenses should be controlled in some way. She said the higher the number of rental properties, and the density of that number in any one area, have a direct correlation to Police and Fire Services. Her goal is to keep neighborhoods healthy. Holmbeck said she will try to add this to the City Council Work Session in January to see if the City Council is interested in pursuing this idea. The meeting was adjourned at 8:05 pm. Respectfully submitted, Shelley Hanson Secretary MINUTES OF PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION JANUARY 4, 2017 7:00 PM The meeting was called to order at 7:00 pm by Chair Szurek.

PUBLIC HEARINGS CASE NUMBER: 2017 -0101 APPLICANT: Aisling Fitness LLC LOCATION: Vacant property on 51St Court REQUEST: Site Plan Approval Holmbeck told members that on behalf of Planet Fitness, Aisling Fitness, LLC has applied for Site Plan Approval per Code Section 9.104 (N), for the vacant site located behind La Casita and White Castle. The site is currently comprised of three vacant lots, which do not have assigned addresses: (Property Identification Numbers (PIN): 25- 30 -24 -23 -0018, 25- 30 -24 -23 -0017, and 25- 30- 24 -22- 0066). The applicant is proposing to construct a fitness facility on the 2.1 acre site. The proposed site plan accommodates a 20,094 square foot one story fitness facility building. The applicant is proposing to construct the building on the south end of the site and have parking on the north end of the site. The proposal includes 146 parking stalls, with landscaped islands and a number of landscaping improvements throughout the site. Overall the proposal meets the City's Zoning Code and Design Guideline Standards. A narrative provided by the applicant, was given to members to review. Holmbeck explained that since the submittal, Aisling Fitness LLC has also purchased the parcel to the north of this one that is located in the City of Fridley. This will provide additional parking and another access point to the property. This will increase the parking approximately 48 spaces for a total of 194. Aisling is working with the City of Fridley to get their approval on the coordinated plan and will submit separate storm water plans to them for that additional piece. ZONING ORDINANCE The site is currently comprised of three properties which are located in the General Business Commercial Zoning District. The properties to the north are located in the City of Fridley. The properties to the east are located in the One and Two Family, and Built as Duplexes Residential Zoning District. The properties to the south and west are located in the General Business Commercial Zoning District. 43 P & Z Minutes Page 2 January 4, 2017 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for commercial land use. Commercial development on the longstanding vacant commercial property is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. DESIGN GUIDELINES The subject property is located within the Design Guideline Overlay District, and is governed by the "Highway District" standards within the Design Guidelines. The intent of the Design Guidelines is to make the City more aesthetically appealing, by requiring a set of minimum standards for new construction along Central Avenue and 40th Avenue. The minimum standards were created by a task force of City Officials, business owners and residents, and adopted into the City Code by the City Council. In general, the proposed building meets the spirit of the Design Guidelines for the Highway District. Signage will be addressed when the applicant or tenant applies for a Sign Permit. Signage must be consistent with Design Guidelines and with City Code. The following components are requirements of the Design Guidelines Highway District and how the applicant has attempted to meet the guidelines: • Buildings may be set back a maximum of 85 feet from the sidewalk, in order to allow for two rows of parking and drive aisles plus landscaped frontage. Due to the fact that the site is narrow the proposed building is to be situated on the south end of the property, with parking to the north. There isn't currently a sidewalk located on 51st Court NE. The City will be working with adjacent businesses to connect current sidewalks to the businesses along 51St Court NE. Planet Fitness is required to ensure pedestrian connections are provided from the buildings rear fire exit and main front entrance sidewalk to the street where future connections will be in place. There will be a landscaped frontage on 51St Court NE. The primary facade(s) of buildings of 40 feet or more in width should be articulated into smaller increments through the techniques such as using of different textures or contrasting, but compatible, materials; dividing storefronts with separate display windows and entrances or incorporating arcades, awnings, window bays, balconies or similar ornamental features. The proposed primary facade of the building will be articulated into smaller increments with different vertical and horizontal panels, and windows. • Building height shall be a minimurn of 22 feet. The proposed building will be 24' tall. Where commercial or office uses are found on the ground floor, at least 20 percent of the ground floor facade fronting Central Avenue and 15 percent of any two side or rear facades shall consist of window and door openings. The proposed plan meets this guideline on the front and west side of the building, however there are no windows on the rear side or east side of the building. • The building should have a well- defined front facade with primary entrances facing the street. 44 P & Z Minutes Page 3 Jan 4, 2017 The proposed building will have a well- defined front and side facade. Due to the narrowness of the lot, the primary entrance is facing north towards the parking lot rather than 51" Court NE. • Building colors should accent, blend with, or complement surroundings. The colors that are proposed are neutral, and the accenting bolder colors coincide with the company's recognizable brand. Overall, the colors presented should complement the surrounding area. • No more than two principal colors may be used on a fagade or individual storefront. Bright or primary colors should be used only as accents, occupying a maximum of 15 percent of building facades, except when used in a mural or other public art. The proposed building will consist of two primary colors: purple and yellow. • All buildings should be constructed of high - quality materials, including the following: Brick, Natural Stone, Stucco Precast concrete units and concrete block, provided that surfaces are molded, serrated or treated with a textured material in order to give the wall surface a three dimensional character. Jumbo brick may be used on up to 30 percent of any fagade, provided that it is used only on the lower third of the building wall. The proposal meets this guideline. The building will be constructed with precast concrete wall panels with a painted finish to meet this guideline. • Architectural details such as ornamental cornices, arched windows and warm -toned brick with bands of contrasting color are encouraged in new construction. The proposal generally meets the intent of this guideline. • Parking areas adjacent to public streets or sidewalks shall be screened with a combination of landscape material and decorative fencing or walls sufficient to screen parked cars on a year -round basis while providing adequate visibility for pedestrians. The proposed landscape plan includes a variety of trees and shrubs to be planted around the perimeter of the site, which should provide adequate screening. SITE PLAN 1. Parking The proposed plan identifies 146 parking stalls for the fitness facility. Staff believes this number is adequate. Planet Fitness has done previous studies to determine the amount of parking that is necessary. The number of stalls proposed for this site is based on previous fitness facility usage and takes into account peak times of the year, such as after the holidays. 45 P & Z Minutes Page 4 Jan 4, 2017 2. Access The site will be primarily served by two access points off Central Avenue onto 51" Court. The property itself will be served by one access off 51" Court and 52nd Ave. NE. Since submitting the site plan documents, the applicant has purchased the property directly due north for additional parking and to provide an additional access point to the site. This property is in the City of Fridley and the applicant is currently working with Fridley to obtain the necessary permits to do site work. With the applicant acquiring this additional property, there will be an additional access point off of 52nd Ave. NE. to the property, which. will provide more flexibility for exiting and entering the site, alleviating some of the traffic on 51" Court and on Central Avenue. 3. Landscape The proposed landscaping materials are shown on the attached Landscape Plan. The applicant is proposing to plant trees and shrubs which will complement the layout of the development. FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104 (N) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines four findings of fact that must be met in order for the City to approve a Site Plan. They are as follows: a. The Site Plan conforms to all applicable requirements of this article. The applicable Zoning Code requirements are achieved. b. The Site Plan is consistent with the applicable provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for commercial development. The proposed Site Plan for the property is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. c. The Site Plan is consistent with any applicable area plan. There is no area plan for this parcel. d. The Site Plan minimizes any adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity and the public right - of -way. The proposed Site Plan meets all the minimum setback requirements and general development standards outlined in the Zoning Code. Therefore, the properties in the immediate vicinity of the proposed development should not be adversely impacted. Questions from members: Szurek asked what type of barrier would be used between the Planet Fitness building and the residential area to the east. Holmbeck stated that they will be installing a white vinyl fence with trees and shrubs on both sides. Szurek then stated she didn't think the building met the Design Guidelines with the Purple and Yellow color scheme. Holmbeck said the primary exterior is a neutral color and they are allowed to use two primary colors for accent, but understands these are not the typical colors used throughout the City where the guidelines are in effect. 46 P & Z Minutes Page 5 Jan 4, 2017 Hoium asked about the 2 sidewalks and where they will run. Holmbeck reviewed the plan detailing the route of the sidewalks. She then told members that Public Works is working with White Castle to extend sidewalks from 51" Court out to Central Avenue which will provide pedestrian access since there are several bus stops in the immediate area. She noted that stop signs will also be added to the LaCasita exit point and to the Planet Fitness exit point to minimize traffic problems. Hoium asked if the 146 planned parking spaces meet our requirements for this type of business. Holmbeck stated that our Code does not address the number of parking spaces needed for this type of use. She said this plan was provided by Planet Fitness based on their other locations and what is needed at the peak times of the year, such as right after New Years, when people seem to use these facilities more. She reminded members that there will be 194 spaces once the Fridley parcel is added. Hoium asked if all the storm water plans were reviewed and approved by Public Works. Holmbeck told members that Public Works was satisfied with the plan and that very detailed information was provided regarding this issue. Fiorendino asked if staff felt there is adequate parking. Holmbeck stated they did. Fiorendino asked what she meant when she said that most of the Design Guidelines were met. Holmbeck explained she knew the colors used as accent (purple and yellow) may be an issue for members, and that some of the architectural requirements regarding windows and minor detailing don't exactly meet requirements. However, staff took into account that some of these items weren't appropriate for this building use. For example, eliminating windows along the back side of the building where the locker /shower rooms will be located. Staff considered these small deviations. Public Hearing Opened. Larry Larson is the owner of a duplex to the east of this property. He wanted to know the distance from the fence to the lot line. He was happy to hear there would be some screening between the business and the residences. Holmbeck told him there is approximately 19 -20 ft from the building to the lot line where the fence will be placed. Larson's major concern is drainage since his lot is the lowest in the area. He was worried that all the storm water from the area would flow to his lot especially after the Planet Fitness lot is paved. Holmbeck told him that the plans indicate that all the stornl water from this site will be taken care of on site, it cannot be diverted to his property. She encouraged him to communicate with Kevin Hansen in Public Works regarding this matter for a more in depth explanation. Representatives present from Aisling Fitness were Ed Farr and Don Anderson, Architects, and Dan Hill from Aisling Fitness. Farr spoke to several of the issues discussed. He said all the stornl water will go to an underground holding area and that it may actually help relieve some of the problems he has experienced in the past. He went on to tell members that the fencing along the east property line will be 6 ft in height and will be staggered back and forth along the entire property line with shrubs on one side and trees on the other to provide an aesthetic barrier. He said that will leave about 20 feet of green space between the building and the barrier. Farr said the color scheme used is their national branding colors and that they limited the use of it as they were mindful of the City's Design Guidelines and tried to come to a compromise from what they normally use. Fiorendino asked what the hours of operation would be. Farr said they are open 24 hours a day /7 days a week. Fiorendino asked about the lighting plan so as not to have a negative impact on the residential properties. Farr told members that they will have poles in the parking lot that will have downcast lighting, but there will be no lighting on the back side of the building. He said the fencing will prevent any headlights from vehicles shining into the residences behind the site. 47 P & Z Minutes Page 6 Jan 4, 2017 Fiorendino asked Farr if there would be a large impact on their plan if Fridley does not approve their plans for the northern piece. He said it would not. Public Hearing Closed. Motion by Fiorendino, seconded by Hoium, to waive the reading ofResolution No. 2017 -PZ01, there being ample copies available to the public. All ayes.

The site is currently comprised of three vacant lots, which do not have assigned addresses: Property Identification Numbers (PIN): 25- 30 -24 -23 -0018, 25- 30- 24 -23- 0017, and 25- 30 -24 -22 -0066. The applicant is proposing to remove the existing lot lines, and re -plat the property to allow for a fitness facility to be constructed on the south end of the site. State Building Code prevents constructing a new building over a property line. Furthermore, in order to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy for the property, the lot lines must be removed. ZONING ORDINANCE The site is currently comprised of three properties which are located in the General Business Commercial Zoning District. The properties to the north are located in the City of Fridley. The properties to the east are located in the One and Two Family, and Built as Duplexes Residential Zoning District. The properties to the south and west are located in the General Business Commercial Zoning District. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for commercial land use. Commercial development on the longstanding vacant commercial property is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104 (L) (6) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines three conditions that must be met in order for the City to grant a Preliminary Plat. They are as follows: (a) The proposed Preliminary Plat conforms to the requirements of City Code Section 9.115. This is correct. (b) The proposed subdivision is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. This is correct. (c) The proposed subdivision contains parcel and land subdivision layout that is consistent with good planning and site engineering design principles. This is correct.

CASE NUMBER: 2017 -0103 APPLICANT: Mulata Associates LLC LOCATION: 820 40th Avenue REQUEST: Zoning Amendment (Rezoning) Holmbeck said Mulata Associates, LLC has petitioned the City of Columbia Heights to change the zoning designation of the property located at 820 40th Ave. NE. from `Public and Open Space' to `Central Business'. This change would accommodate the relocation of an adult daycare to the site. Mulata Associates, LLC operates an adult daycare in St. Paul which has outgrown the current space. The applicant is planning to purchase the City's former Library building to allow for the daycare to operate in the building. In addition to the daycare, the applicant is proposing to use the building as a community center, when it is not being used as a daycare facility. 52 P & Z Minutes Page 11 Jan 4, 2017 In terms of the Rezoning request, rezoning the property to Central Business is in the best interest of the public and the future of the property. Right now the property can only be used for a `public use' such as a government building or a non - profit. Allowing the property to be rezoned provides opportunities for a variety of commercial uses to operate on the parcel in the future. Due to the property's close proximity to the Central Business corridor, and from a long term planning perspective, approving the rezoning will provide a viable commercial property for the future. A list of the current permitted uses in the Public and Open Space and the Central Business District was given to members. It is important to note that there are some conflicts regarding the specific types of uses that are being proposed for the building. The proposed uses do not meet the Specific Development Requirements that are called out in the City's Zoning Code for an Adult Daycare and Community Center. The Specific Development Requirements are a list of requirements for certain types of commercial, residential, and industrial uses. For example, a `use' such as a daycare may be permitted in the zoning classification, but will also need to meet the Specific Development Requirements guided for that type of `use'. The applicant has been made aware that the uses which are currently proposed would not be allowed under the City's current code, due to the fact that the Specific Development Standards are not met, and that staff does not have the authority to waive these requirements. Holmbeck told members that they have met with the applicant to explain this conflict; however the applicant decided to proceed with the Zoning request. Holmbeck said they would have to appeal the Specific Development Standards at a later time to the Board of Appeals if they choose to move ahead with their proposed plan for the building. The Specific Development Requirements for an Adult daycare and a Community Center are attached for your review. The issue in this particular case is that the proposed uses do not meet the following standards: 1. For a Community Center, the parcel upon which the use is located shall have a lot area no less than four times the area of the building footprint. 2. For an Adult Day Care Center, at least 150 square feet of outdoor area for seating or exercise shall be provided for each adult under care. ZONING ORDINANCE The property is located in the Public and Open Space Zoning District. The properties located to the north and south are located in the Multiple Family Residential Zoning District. The properties to the west are located in the Limited Business Zoning District, and the properties to the east are located in the Central Business Zoning District. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan guides this property for Institutional Uses. It was unknown that a new library facility would be built, at the time the Comprehensive Plan was completed. Now that the new library facility is in operation, the former library is vacant and the City has no immediate public use for the property. The City should look for ways to make the property viable long term. Staff believes the rezoning request achieves this goal. FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104(F) (5) requires four findings of fact to be made when a zoning amendment petition is made. The findings of fact are as follows: 53 P & Z Minutes Page 12 Jan 4, 2017 (a) The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan As previously stated, the Comprehensive Plan identifies and guides the property for Institutional Uses. However, staff believes that due to the fact the surrounding area is guided for transitional development and commercial development, and from a land -use perspective, the proposal makes sense.for the long term viability of the parcel. (b) The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a single property owner. The property is currently vacant, and has been vandalized in the past few months, It is in the public interest that the property is being usedfor the highest and bestpossible use. Unfortunately, because the parcel is zonedfor Public and Open Space, the types of uses that can operate on the site are strictly limited. Allowing a variety of commercial uses to operate on the site is in the public's interest. (C) Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, the existing use of the property and the zoning classification of property within the general area of the property in question are compatible with the proposed zoning classification. The surroundingproperties are a mix of commercial, residential, and institutional. Staff believes that overall the zoning classification of the property within the general area of the property is compatible with the proposed zoning classification. (d) Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, there has been a change in the character or trend of development in the general area of the property in question, which has taken place since such property was placed in its current zoning classification. The parcel's current zoning classification reflects the City's planned land -use goals at the time the Comprehensive Plan Update was last updated. Since 2008, the City has built a new library facility, and now operates at a different location. Due to the subjectproperty'sproximity to Central Avenue and a growing trend in commercial development throughout the Twin Cities Metro, it is a smart long term strategy to rezone the parcel to meet the growing commercial propertv demand. Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the proposed rezoning of the property located at 820 40th Avenue, based on the aforementioned findings of fact. Questions from members: Fiorendino asked if there had been any consideration to re- zoning this parcel to Limited Business (LB) instead of CBD. Holmbeck said that option was discussed, however the applicant made the decision to request the change to CBD as it allows more choices of permitted uses. She again made it clear to the Commission members and the applicant, that if the re- zoning is approved, and the use of the building is determined to be a permitted use, they still must meet the other Specific Development Standards depending on the proposed use. Hoium asked what other permitted uses are in this District. Holmbeck said the members were given a list in their packets. Hoium and Fiorendino both felt it made sense to change the zoning from "Public Use" to " CBD" as it allows more uses for any future owner and will help to achieve the best use of the building in that area. 54 P & Z Minutes Page 13 Jan 4, 2017 Hoium wanted confirmation that if they approved the re- zoning to "CBD" that the applicant would not be able to use the facility as an Adult Daycare or Community Center without appealing the section of our Code for Specific Development Standards to the Board of Appeals. Holmbeck said that is , correct. The Board of Appeals could grant an exception, but if they decided to uphold the Code as it is written, then the Applicant could appeal to the City Council as a last resort. Public Hearing Opened. Steve Smith of 3813 Lincoln Street is a Trustee of Immaculate Conception Church. He wanted to make sure that any changes to the zoning of this site, and the lack of parking on site, would not impact Immaculate Conception Church in any way. Szurek assured him it would not. Any ,future business going into this building would not be able to use the Church's parking lots without permission. Chantelle Henning of 3975 Jackson Street thinks parking will be an issue for the proposed use. She doesn't feel there is adequate parking in the lot or on the side streets for a community center. She doesn't think that people will use the parking ramp and walk to this site which is 2 blocks away. Most of those needing the Adult Daycare probably would not be able to navigate that far. She is concerned that it will increase the street parking in the neighborhood. Fiorendino said we don't know what the actual use will be at this point, but said that most businesses will probably use the lot parking first and some street parking just like the Library did in the past, so this should not be a dramatic impact on the neighborhood. As far as use as a community center, that is why there are standards in place to ensure a certain amount of parking is provided on site, so as not to inconvenience the surrounding area. Public Hearing Closed. Motion by Fiorendino, seconded by Hoium, to waive the reading gfResolution No. 2017 -04, there being ample copies available to the public. All ayes. MOTIONPASSED. Motion by Fiorendino, seconded by Hoium, that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends the City Council approve Resolution No. 2017 -04, rezoning the properly) located at 820 401h Avenue NE./rom 'Public and Open Space' to 'Central Business'. The following Resolution will go to the City Council January 9ti' 55 P & Z Minutes Page 14 Jan 4, 2017 RESOLUTION NO. 2017-04 A Resolution of the City Council for the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota, approving a Zoning Amendment for the property located at 820 40`h Avenue NE. Whereas, a proposal (Case # 2017 -0103) has been submitted by Mulata Associates, LLC to the City Council requesting a Zoning Amendment from the City of Columbia Heights at the following site: ADDRESS: 820 400' Avenue NE LEGAL DESCRIPTION: On file at City Hall. REQUEST: Zoning Amendment (Rezoning). Whereas, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing as required by the City's Zoning Code on January 4, 2017; P & Z Minutes Page 16 Jan 4, 2017 Whereas, the City Council has considered the advice and recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding the effect of the proposed Rezoning upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community and its Comprehensive Plan, as well as any concerns related to compatibility of uses, traffic, property values, light, air, danger of fire, and risk to public safety in the surrounding areas; Now, therefore, in accordance with the foregoing, and all ordinances and regulations of the City of Columbia Heights, the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT (a) The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan (b) The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a single property owner. (c) Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, the existing use of the property and the zoning classification of property within the general area of the property in question are compatible with the proposed zoning classification. (d) Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, there has been a change in the character or trend of development in the general area of the property in question, which has taken place since such property was placed in its current zoning classification. Now, therefore, in accordance with the foregoing, and all ordinances and regulations of the City of Columbia Heights, the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights hereby rezones the property at 820 40`' Avenue NE to "Central Business ". 56 P & Z Minutes Page 15 Jan 4, 2017 CASE NUMBER: 2017 -0104 APPLICANT: Scenic Sign Corp/New Perspectives Sr. Living LOCATION: 3801 Hart Blvd REQUEST: Variance Holmbeck said that Scenic Sign Corporation representing New Perspectives Senior Living is requesting a Variance to allow for the installation of a new monument sign for the property located at 3801 Hart Blvd. NE. The senior apartment complex, formerly known as the Lighthouse Apartments, has recently rebranded to be known as New Perspective Senior Living. The applicant is proposing to remove the old sign and replace the existing monument sign on the property to reflect the new name of the building. The applicant is requesting a Variance to City Code to allow for a monument sign that exceeds the maximum allowed 16 square feet. The applicant submitted plans for the packets for a proposal that calls for the sign face to be 52.25 square feet, with 10.4 square feet concrete pillars on either side of the sign face. The proposed sign is approximately 86 square feet in total. The Variance request is to allow the monument sign to exceed the dimensional requirements by 70 square feet. The existing monument sign is located on the west side of the property as you enter the parking lot and is 72 square feet in size. The applicant is proposing to rebuild the sign closer to the street (Hart Blvd.). According to the City's Zoning Code, monument signs for this zoning classification have a maximum permitted height of 8 ft. The proposed sign would meet this requirement, as it would be just over 6 ft. tall. A rendering of the existing sign and proposed sign, which includes dimensions and placement, is attached for consideration. Before the meeting, Scenic Sign submitted a second plan showing a different sized sign which Holmbeck passed out to members just prior to the meeting. Then at the meeting, a representative from New Perspectives, Holly Osters, passed out yet another plan showing different sizes again. All of the requests exceeded the allowed size. ZONING ORDINANCE The property is located in the R -3 Multiple Family Residential Zoning District, as are the properties to the north. The properties to the west are zoned Public and Open Space. The properties to the south and east are located in the General Business Commercial Zoning District. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan designates this zoning district for high density residential. DESIGN GUIDELINES The subject property is not located within the Design Guideline Overlay District FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104 (G) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines five conditions that must be met in order for the City Council to grant Variances. They are as follows: 57 P & Z Minutes Page 16 Jan 4, 2017 a) Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the provisions of this article would cause practical difficulties in conforming to the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant, however, is proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the Zoning Ordinance. The application provided does not identify specific difficulties in conforming to the Zoning Ordinance. The property does not appear to have topographical or other unique conditions that pose a practical difficulty in conforming to the Zoning Ordinance. b) The conditions upon which the variances are based are unique to the specific parcel of land involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification. This parcel does not appear to have unique conditions as compared to the surrounding parcels. c) The practical difficulties are caused by the provisions of this article and have not been created by any person currently having a legal interest in the property. The application provided does not appear to identify a practical difficulty. d) The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan does not address signage for multiple family residential uses. e) The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development or value of property or improvements in the vicinity. The proposed sign does, not appear to be detrimental to the public welfare, use and development, or value of properties in the viciniy. Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that the City Council deny the Variance request for the proposed monument sign for the property located at 3801 Hart Blvd. The applicant has not submitted a reasonable request based on the Findings of Fact outlined in the City's Zoning Ordinance, which are required by the City Council in order to approve a Variance. Based on the application and renderings received for review, it is not evident there is a practical difficulty present in order to grant the Variance. While there appears to be no issue with the request to move the sign closer to the street (Hart Blvd) for visibility, no justification has been provided that demonstrates the need for such a large sign on the residentially zoned property. The commercially zoned properties to the south and east are only allowed up to 50 square feet of signage. For this reason, and because the Findings of Fact have not been met, the request is not justifiable. A sample resolution was provided, should the Planning and Zoning Commission decide to recommend approval. Questions from members: Holly Osters from New Perspectives said the building was constructed in 2008. During the past year the company has created a new name and they have rebranded. The sign that is presently there is not a conventional one used at any of their other locations. Their wish is to replace the sign in a better location that will be consistent with all of the buildings they own. She told members that the existing sign is not visible to traffic coming from the north or south on Hart Blvd. therefore, guests, volunteers, & perspective residents have 58 P & Z Minutes Page 17 Jan 4, 2017 trouble finding the facility. She said the current sign is 34.8 sq ft in size (which exceeds the allowable size, and is therefore non - conforming). Staff has researched this and there was never a permit issued for that sign and it was never approved as part of the Site Plan or any other action approved by the P & Z Commission. There was a discussion to try and clarify which plan of the three submitted is their actual request. That lead to discussion about whether to make a decision on just the sign itself or whether the pillars or other supports should be included in the total sq ft. Members wanted to concentrate on the size of the actual signage not the surrounding supports. But it was still unclear what size they wanted a variance for. Hoium stated he was not in favor of expanding a non - conforming use. He was ok with moving and replacing it with the same size, but no bigger. Fiorendino said he needed a good reason to allow the variance. More visibility, or to attract more business is not good enough reasons in his opinion. He said they must go by what is established in the Code. He said the Commission doesn't have the authority to approve this without a hardship. Holly Osters stated that they are trying to provide consistency at all their buildings. Szurek said every city has different code requirements and we can't be expected to make decisions on other cities. She also said she can't justify the variance unless there is a hardship. Osters said they can't reface the current sign as it is made from limestone and it will crack if changes are made to it. The only option they have is to construct a new one. Osters went on to say that the Liquor Store to the south is larger than it should be. Holmbeck said the Liquor Store is in a commercially zoned area which has different requirements. The discussion continued about varying sizes of the new sign and whether the members would be willing to grant a variance on any specific size. At this point, the members were very confused about what the actual request was, and since they could see no hardship they were not in favor of granting a variance at this time. The members suggested Osters go to the City Council meeting and provide them with one proposal with precise measurements for the smallest size they think they could live with, and see if the City Council would approve it. Szurek said too many options were discussed at this meeting and it is hard to approve something that hasn't been submitted correctly. Public Hearing Opened. No further discussion. Public Hearing Closed. Motion by Fiorendino, seconded by Hoium, to close the public hearing and recommend that the City Council deny the Variance request for a monument sign for the property located 3801 Hart Blvd., due to the Findings of Fact not being met. 59 P & Z Minutes Page 18 Jan 4, 2017 OTHER BUSINESS No other new business.

Staff is requesting authorization to process blanket purchase orders for 2017 to cover the items described herein. ANALYSIS /CONCLUSIONS: The adopted 2017 Public Works budget has the following amounts established for: 2017 Budgeted Amounts • De -icing salt for sanding operations $ 25,790 • Fuel for City vehicles $165,000 • Bituminous asphalt for patching and paving $ 54,000 • Water Service Stop Box Repairs $ 70,000 Public Works Department purchases de -icing salt off of the State of Minnesota Contract, which is bid for the 2016 -2017 winter season for multiple municipalities. The 2016 -2017 contract for salt is in effect from June 8, 2016 until June 7, 2017, so the vendor and unit price may change. The current contract supplier is Compass Materials. In the past, the City has purchased its unleaded and diesel fuel from two sources: the State of Minnesota Fuel Purchasing Contract and the Anoka County Cooperative Purchasing Contract. The City will purchase 50% of its fuel off the state contract and the remainder off the lowest available purchasing contract, which in recent years has been Anoka County. For street patching and repairs, staff obtains unit price bids for asphalt materials annually, and in 2016, the primary source was Commercial Asphalt, but is subject to mix (type) availability on high demand days. For delinquent accounts and foreclosed properties, the City makes water stop box repairs in accordance with City ordinance. Pricing for curb stop repairs is provided on a unit price basis for a one -year term through 2017. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move for approval to authorize staff to process blanket purchase orders in an amount not to exceed the 2017 budget amounts for: • De -icing salt for salt /sanding operations purchased off the State of Minnesota Purchasing Contract. • Fuel (unleaded and diesel) for City vehicles from the State of Minnesota Purchasing Contract and the Anoka County Cooperative Agreement. • Bituminous asphalt for patching /paving City streets and alleys from Commercial Asphalt, or City of St. Paul, or T.A. Schifsky & Son's. • Curb stop and service repairs for delinquent accounts and foreclosed properties. 84 CH COLUMBIA HEIGHTS AGENDA SECTION CONSENT ITEM NO. 7L MEETING DATE JANUARY 9, 2017 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS - COUNCIL LETTER ITEM: FINAL COMPENSATING CHANGE ORDER AND FINAL PAYMENT FOR 2015 CONCRETE ALLEY CONSTRUCTION, PROJECT NO. 1402 DEPARTMENT: Public Works CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL: BY /DATE: Kevin Hansen / January 3, 2017 BY /DATE: BACKGROUND: The contractor has completed the 2015 Concrete Alley Construction project.

Hansen City Engineer 87 0 C,� COLUMBIA HEIGHTS AGENDA SECTION CONSENT ITEM NO. 7M MEETING DATE JANUARY 9, 2017 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS - COUNCIL LETTER ITEM: CAPITAL EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT OF THE ELGIN CROSSWIND STREET SWEEPER DEPARTMENT: Public Works CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL: BY /DATE: Kevin Hansen / January 4, 2017 BY /DATE: BACKGROUND: Unit #81 is an Elgin Crosswind regenerative air sweeper that was purchased in 2008 for $159,982. This price reflected a $13,500 trade in allowance for one (1) 1994 Elgin Eagle Mechanical Sweeper. Unit #81 has an odometer reading of 14,817 miles, with 2,956 hours meter. Since 2008, $88,105.00 has been spent on maintenance and repairs. The shop supervisor has rated the sweeper at fair for mechanical condition. The capital equipment replacement schedule for this unit is seven years. Both staff and the industry believe this schedule better represents the economic life for a frontline street sweeper. The 2017 capital equipment replacement budget allocated $250,000 split evenly between the Street and Storm and Water Department for the replacement of the Crosswind sweeper. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Public Works has historically (over 30 years) performed street sweeping operations using two sweepers. The goal has been to sweep all of the streets at least four times, and alleys and parking lots one time during the year. Additional sweeping is done after storm events and to prepare areas for street patching. In accordance with NPDES best management practices, streets that have low areas and areas that drain directly into lakes and ponds are swept first. Street cleaning has the greatest potential for reducing storm water pollution and it can do so at a relatively affordable cost. That's because most of the rain that falls on impervious surfaces goes onto pavement that is directly connected to our storm water collection system. Sweeping also prolongs the operational efficiency of structural based devices, such as storm water retention ponds, and reduces the ongoing maintenance they require (less sediment). Additionally, national and local studies have shown the least cost per pound of pollutant removed during some seasonal conditions are actually achieved via tandem sweeping — combining a mechanical broom sweeper followed by a regenerative air or vacuum sweeper. The mechanical sweeper is very good at picking up heavy debris and the regenerative air sweeper excels at picking up medium to light debris and particulates. A mechanical sweeper is also much more effective at picking up larger street surface material from construction sites, such as millings or tracking resulting from vehicles or equipment passing through or leaving active construction projects. A regenerative air sweeper is more effective during fall leaf pickup operations. Due to its effectiveness, sweeping is performed in tandem during spring and fall operations. Staff believes that street sweeping must be an important part of the management strategies for any storm water NPDES runoff program or TMDL implementation plan. Mechanical sweepers, like the Elgin Pelican that the city currently owns, have pickup efficiencies of approximately 20% to 30 %. To meet the requirements of more restrictive storm water rules, we have been combining sweeper operations resulting in an increase of pickup efficiencies achieving removals of 60% to 90% of fine particulates, and thus increasing pollutant removals. Staff had the opportunity to demo three different brands of regenerative air sweepers (Elgin, Schwartz, andTymco) which all are on the Minnesota State Contract. In speaking with numerous local municipalities and 88 City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2 staff review of actual use demos, staff believes the Tymco unit best fits our sweeping program needs. The State of Minnesota contract pricing for the three sweepers, similarly equipped is as follows: Vendor Purchase Price trade -in Net Cost Tymco $237,755 $50,000 $187,755 Elgin $258,230 $69,000 $189,230 Schwartz $251,567 $20,000 $231,567 RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to purchase off the State of Minnesota purchasing contract one new Tymco 600 regenerative air sweeper from Environmental Equipment and Services Inc. of Elko, Minnesota in the amount of $237,755 less a trade allowance $50,000 for a total purchase price $187,755 plus tax, for the capital equipment replacement of the Elgin Crosswind sweeper, with equal funding provided by the Street and Storm Sewer Capital Equipment Replacement funds.

CDBG funds provide communities with supplemental resources to address a wide range of unique community development needs and opportunities. The County Board has established a list of high priority projects that receive a first consideration when the projects are reviewed for funding. After review of the high priority projects, Staff would like to apply for land acquisition funds to purchase the former Root Property located at 3930 University Avenue NE. Attached is the 2017 CDBG application for the proposed Root Property Brownfield Redevelopment Project. The proposed project consist of three phases where the City would partner with an environmental consultant to leverage federal, state and private funds to encourage redevelopment of the Root Property. Phase I is intended for the land acquisition of the Root Property from the State of Minnesota. The County Assessor estimates the Root Property to have a total land value of $163,200. Phase II would mainly consist of contamination investigation in order for a Response Action Plan (RAP) to be implemented into Phase III. Staff anticipates the contamination investigation will cost a total of $50,000, of which 75% or $37,500 would be requested through an investigation grant program offered through the DEED. As Phase III would entail the contamination cleanup after the MPCA has approved a RAP implementation report that effectively addresses remediation of the soil and groundwater, but also the demolition of buildings. Staff estimates Phase III would cost approximately $350,000, of which 88% or $308,000 would be leveraged by grants that offer remediation funds through DEED and the Met Council. The total project cost is estimated to be $563,200 and if federal and state funds are leveraged, the City may pay up to $54,500. Staff would like City Council's consideration to authorize the submittal of the 2017 CDBG application requesting $163,200 for the funds necessary to purchase the Root Property. RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2017 -07, there being ample copies available to the public.

Currently, the Root Property is tax - forfeit and the County Assessor estimates it to have a market land value of $157,800 and a market improvement value of $5,400. CONTAMINATION INVESTIGATION: The City will engage the professional services of a consultant to conduct environmental site assessments, enter the Root Property into the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's (MPCA) Voluntary Brownfield Program (VBP), and develop a Response Action Plan (RAP) satisfactory to the MPCA's requirements. The City estimates the contamination investigation will cost a total of $50,000. The City intends to apply for grant funding through DEED to potentially obtain 75% ($37,500) of the total costs associated with the contamination investigation. If the City is award funding, the City will be required to commit a local match of 25% ($12,500). CONTAMINATION CLEANUP: The City will utilize the professional services of a consultant to manage contamination cleanup after the MPCA has approved a RAP implementation plan that effectively addresses the identified contamination. The City estimates that the contamination cleanup will cost approximately $350,000, of which the City intends to leverage 88% of the total cost through grants offered by DEED and the Met Council. DEED offers a grant that will fund up to 75% ($262,500) of the total cost to remediate a polluted site. If DEED funding is received, the City is required to commit a local match of 25% ($87,500). The Met Council offers a grant that covers up to 13% ($45,500) of the local match required by DEED. The City anticipates commitment of a 12% ($42,000) local match. PROJECT TOTAL COST: The total project cost is estimated to be $563,200, of which the City is requesting $163,200 in CDBG funding. 100 Ell c Q�- U o 0 o Z c Z i y.a O U b 0 O .y I-1 LID O cn -d U U 3-.

Points awarded for these three key areas: 10 points — approach, 10 points - community need & justification, 10 points - benefit to Low Moderate Income persons /household (4000- characters) The City, designated as the only urban city within Anoka County, has witnessed several economic and social changes that have impacted the industrial composition of the surrounding area. The dynamic of the industrial sector has shifted further outward into the suburbs leaving properties vacant, abandoned, and underutilized. Many of these properties are considered to be brownfields because of their past industrial uses, which now directly pose environmental and public health concerns to the community, but also create obstacles for redevelopment. One specific brownfield that continues to have a diminishing tax base and has become a source of blight within the City is the Root Property at the intersection of State Trunk Highway 47 (University Avenue) and County State Aid Highway 2 (40th Avenue). The City has determined that a more proactive approach needs to be taken to return this environmentally impaired property back into productive use. In fact, this particular property is situated within a larger redevelopment district that has been identified by the City in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as an area of opportunity. Since 2007, the Root Property has been developmentally stagnant due to known contaminates that have polluted the soil and groundwater from its previous use. When the Root Property forfeited to the State of Minnesota (State) in 2011 for failure to pay ad valorem real estate taxes, the City saw this as an opportunity to become a catalyst for brownfield redevelopment. The City intended to acquire the Root Property and enter it into the MPCA's VBP- Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup (VIC) program. Unfortunately, after environmental site assessments were conducted in 2012 and before a RAP was developed in satisfaction to the MPCA's requirements, the City was unable to obtain the funds necessary to purchase the Root Property from the State. As a result, the Root Property was not entered into the MPCA's VBP -VIC program and has remained a liability for the City, residents, and potential developers. In a renewed interest to mitigate the liability associated with brownfield redevelopment and to stimulate future development on the Root Property, the City intends to purchase it from the State, develop a RAP that effectively addresses the identified contaminates, and remediate it to obtain a no further action letter from the MPCA. Therefore, the City respectfully requests CDBG funding in the amount of $163,200 to provide the funds necessary for land acquisition of the Root Property, but also the ability to leverage further assistance through other state, federal, and private funds for brownfield redevelopment. Brownfields represent more than a contaminated property; they represent an opportunity for redevelopment, growth, job creation, and community character enhancement. The City thanks the Anoka County Housing and Redevelopment Authority, County Board and Staff for their consideration of this proposed request. S 102 Anoka County MINNESOTA Describe the need and urgency for the proposed project. Include the consequences if the project is not funded: The contamination present on the Root Property poses obstacles to redevelopment, but also environmental and public health concerns to the community that need to be addressed immediately. The MPCA requires the property owner to either be the voluntary party or give their consent to a voluntary party to enter a property into the VIC program. In the case of the Root Property, the City needs to be the owner in order to voluntarily enter it into the MPCA's VIC program. Thus, if CDBG funds are not received for the acquisition of the Root Property, the City will not have the resources necessary for both acquisition and remediation of the property. As a result, the Root Property will remain a liability to the City, residents, and potential developers until funds are found to supplement the costs associated with brownfield redevelopment. Describe the applicant's fiscal management including financial reporting and record keeping: The City has the fiscal management tools necessary to administer and complete this project. The City's annual budget reports, as well as the annual Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, highlight the financial capabilities of the City.

After a fire partially burnt down the primary structure in 2010, the City ordered an immediate abatement of hazardous materials and that the Root Property be properly secured for the public's safety. However, the Root Property continues to be a source of blight within the City because of the current conditions of the structures and the contamination that has not yet been adequately addressed. Describe the conditions that qualify the project as slum or blight: In 2007, the City removed hazardous materials from the Root Property including garbage, broken windows /doors, and other discarded chemical debris of an unreported nature. In addition, the City also responded to an emergency response call were elemental mercury was released in the primary structure. In 2010, the primary structure burnt down resulting in mercury and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contaminated ash and debris to be scattered across the Root Property. Later that year, the City removed four 55- gallon drums containing used oil that were found to be leaking into the soil and groundwater.

Three vacant lots located on 51St Court NE. See attached location map. REQUEST: Preliminary Plat Approval PREPARED BY: Elizabeth Holmbeck, City Planner INTRODUCTION On behalf of Planet Fitness, Aisling Fitness, LLC has requested Preliminary Plat Approval per Code Section 9.104 (L), for the vacant site located behind La Casita and White Castle. The site is currently comprised of three vacant lots, which do not have assigned addresses: Property Identification Numbers (PIN): 25- 30 -24 -23 -0018, 25- 30 -24 -23 -0017, and 25- 30 -24 -22 -0066. The applicant is proposing to remove the existing lot lines, and re -plat the property to allow for a fitness facility to be constructed on the south end of the site. State Building Code prevents constructing a new building over a property line. Furthermore, in order to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy for the property, the lot lines must be removed. ZONING ORDINANCE The site is currently comprised of three properties which are located in the General Business Commercial Zoning District. The properties to the north are located in the City of Fridley. The properties to the east are located in the One and Two Family, and Built as Duplexes Residential Zoning District. The properties to the south and west are located in the General Business Commercial Zoning District. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for commercial land use. Commercial development on the longstanding vacant commercial property is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. 136 City of Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission January 4, 2017 Planning Report Page 2 FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104 (L) (6) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines three conditions that must be met in order for the City to grant a Preliminary Plat.

(b) The proposed subdivision is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. This is correct. (c) The proposed subdivision contains parcel and land subdivision layout that is consistent with good planning and site engineering design principles. This is correct.

The applicant is planning to purchase the City's former Library building to allow for an adult daycare to operate in the building. In addition to the daycare, the applicant is proposing to use the building as a community center, when it is not being used as a daycare facility. There are some conflicts regarding the specific types of uses that are being proposed for the building and the City's zoning regulations. The proposed uses do not meet the Specific Development Requirements that are called out in the City's Zoning Code for an Adult Daycare and Community Center. The Specific Development Requirements are a list of requirements for certain types of commercial, residential, and industrial uses. For example, a 'use' such as a daycare may be permitted in the zoning classification, but will also need to meet the Specific Development Requirements guided for that type of 'use'. The applicant is aware that the uses which are currently proposed would not be allowed under the City's current code, due to the fact that the Specific Development Standards are not met, and that staff does not have the authority to waive these requirements. Staff has met with the applicant previously to explain this conflict; however the applicant has decided to proceed with the Zoning request. The Specific Development Requirements for an Adult daycare and a Community Center are attached for your review. The issue in this particular case is that the proposed uses do not meet the following standards: For a Community Center, the parcel upon which the use is located shall have a lot area no less than four times the area of the building footprint. For an Adult Day Care Center, at least 150 square feet of outdoor area for seating or exercise shall be provided for each adult under care. In order to potentially operate an Adult Daycare or Community Center on the property, the applicant will have to make an appeal to the Board of Appeals (Planning and Zoning Commission). The applicant can appeal this section of the City's Zoning Code at a later date. The Board of Appeals could grant an exception to these requirements, which would then allow for the daycare and /or community center to operate on the property. In terms of the Rezoning request, rezoning the property to Central Business is in the best interest of the public and the future of the property. Right now the property can only be used for a 'public use' such as a government building or a non - profit. Allowing the property to be rezoned provides opportunities for a variety of commercial uses to operate on the parcel in the future. Due to the property's close proximity to the Central Business corridor, and from a long term planning perspective, approving the rezoning will provide a viable 143 City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2 commercial property for the future. A list of the current permitted uses in the Public and Open Space and the Central Business District are attached for review. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council approve the proposed rezoning of the property located at 820 40th Avenue. RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Motion: Move to close the public hearing and waive the reading of Resolution No. 2017 -04, there being ample copies available to the public. Motion: Move to approve Resolution No. 2017 -04, rezoning the property located at 820 40th Avenue NE from 'Public and Open Space' to 'Central Business'.

Whereas, a proposal (Case # 2017 -0103) has been submitted by Mulata Associates, LLC to the City Council requesting a Zoning Amendment from the City of Columbia Heights at the following site: ADDRESS: 820 40th Avenue NE LEGAL DESCRIPTION: On file at City Hall. REQUEST: Zoning Amendment (Rezoning). Whereas, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing as required by the City's Zoning Code on January 4, 2017; Whereas, the City Council has considered the advice and recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding the effect of the proposed Rezoning upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community and its Comprehensive Plan, as well as any concerns related to compatibility of uses, traffic, property values, light, air, danger of fire, and risk to public safety in the surrounding areas; Now, therefore, in accordance with the foregoing, and all ordinances and regulations of the City of Columbia Heights, the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT (a) The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan (b) The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a single property owner. (c) Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, the existing use of the property and the zoning classification of property within the general area of the property in question are compatible with the proposed zoning classification. (d) Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, there has been a change in the character or trend of development in the general area of the property in question, which has taken place since such property was placed in its current zoning classification. Now, therefore, in accordance with the foregoing, and all ordinances and regulations of the City of Columbia Heights, the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights hereby rezones the property at 820 40th Avenue NE to "Central Business ". 145 City of Columbia Heights - Council Resolution ORDER OF THE COUNCIL Passed this 91" day of January, 2017.

REQUEST: Zoning Amendment (Rezoning) PREPARED BY: Elizabeth Holmbeck, City Planner INTRODUCTION Mulata Associates, LLC has petitioned the City of Columbia Heights to change the zoning designation of the property located at 820 40th Ave. NE. from 'Public and Open Space' to 'Central Business'. This change would accommodate the relocation of an adult daycare to the site. Mulata Associates, LLC operates an adult daycare in St. Paul which has outgrown the current space. The applicant is planning to purchase the City's former Library building to allow for the daycare to operate in the building. In addition to the daycare, the applicant is proposing to use the building as a community center, when it is not being used as a daycare facility. In terms of the Rezoning request, rezoning the property to Central Business is in the best interest of the public and the future of the property. Right now the property can only be used for a 'public use' such as a government building or a non - profit. Allowing the property to be rezoned provides opportunities for a variety of commercial uses to operate on the parcel in the future. Due to the property's close proximity to the Central Business corridor, and from a long term planning perspective, approving the rezoning will provide a viable commercial property for the future. A list of the current permitted uses in the Public and Open Space and the Central Business District are attached for review. It is important to note that there are some conflicts regarding the specific types of uses that are being proposed for the building. The proposed uses do not meet the Specific Development Requirements that are called out in the City's Zoning Code for an Adult Daycare and Community Center. The Specific Development Requirements are a list of requirements for certain types of commercial, residential, and industrial uses. 147 City of Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission January 4, 2017 Planning Report Page 2 For example, a 'use' such as a daycare may be permitted in the zoning classification, but will also need to meet the Specific Development Requirements guided for that type of 'use'. The applicant must be aware that the uses which are currently proposed would not be allowed under the City's current code due to the fact that the Specific Development Standards are not met and that staff does not have the authority to waive these requirements. Staff has met with the applicant previously to explain this conflict; however the applicant has decided to proceed with the Zoning request. The Specific Development Requirements for an Adult daycare and a Community Center are attached for your review. The issue in this particular case is that the proposed uses do not meet the following standards: 1. For a Community Center, the parcel upon which the use is located shall have a lot area no less than four times the area of the building footprint. For an Adult Day Care Center, at least 150 square feet of outdoor area for seating or exercise shall be provided for each adult under care. ZONING ORDINANCE The property is located in the Public and Open Space Zoning District. The properties located to the north and south are located in the Multiple Family Residential Zoning District. The properties to the west are located in the Limited Business Zoning District, and the properties to the east are located in the Central Business Zoning District. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan guides this property for Institutional Uses. It was unknown that a new library facility would be built, at the time the Comprehensive Plan was completed. Now that the new library facility is in operation, the former library is vacant and the City has no immediate public use for the property. The City should look for ways to make the property viable long term. Staff believes the rezoning request achieves this goal. FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104(F) (5) requires four findings of fact to be made when a zoning amendment petition is made. The findings of fact are as follows: (a) The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan As previously stated, the Comprehensive Plan identifies and guides the property for Institutional Uses. However, staff believes that due to the fact the surrounding area is guided for transitional development and commercial development, and from a land -use perspective, the proposal makes sense for the long term viability of the parcel. 148 City of Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission January 4, 2017 Planning Report Page 3 (a) The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a single property owner. The property is currently vacant, and has been vandalized in the past few months. It is in the public interest that the property is being used for the highest and best possible use. Unfortunately, because the parcel is zoned for Public and Open Space, the types of uses that can operate on the site are strictly limited. Allowing a variety of commercial uses to operate on the site is in the public's interest. (b) Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, the existing use of the property and the zoning classification of property within the general area of the property in question are compatible with the proposed zoning classification. The surrounding properties are a mix of commercial, residential, and institutional. Staff believes that overall the zoning classification of the property within the general area of the property is compatible with the proposed zoning classification. (c) Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, there has been a change in the character or trend of development in the general area of the property in question, which has taken place since such property was placed in its current zoning classification. The parcel's current zoning classification reflects the City's planned land -use goals at the time the Comprehensive Plan Update was last updated. Since 2008, the City has built a new library facility, and now operates at a different location. Due to the subject property's proximity to Central Avenue and a growing trend in commercial development throughout the Twin Cities Metro, it is a smart long term strategy to rezone the parcel to meet the growing commercial property demand. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the proposed rezoning of the property located at 820 40th Avenue, based on the aforementioned findings of fact. Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2017 -04, there being ample copies available to the public. Motion: That the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. 2017 -04, rezoning the property located at 820 40th Avenue NE from 'Public and Open Space' to 'Central Business'. 149 City of Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission January 4, 2017 Planning Report Page 4 ATTACHMENTS Resolution No. 2017 -04 Application Applicant's Narrative Location Map Building Official's Report Current and Proposed Permitted /Conditional Uses Specific Development Requirements Preliminary Renderings Planned Future Land Use Map Zoning Map 150 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS ZONING AMENDMENT APPLICATION To be filled out by City.- CASE NO,: APPLICABLE ORDINANCE NO.: 9,104(F) PRESENT LAND USE PLAN DESIGNATION: REZONING ZONING AMENDMENT To be filled out by Applicant: DATE RECEIVED: DATE OF LETTER OF COMPLETION: APPROVAL DATE PER STATUTE: REVIEW PERIOD EXTENDED: PROJECT ADDRESS /LOCATION: $2-O LID '-% &/,C,, . tj C LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY INVOLVED (attach separate page if necessary): PRESENT ZONING OF PROPERTY: PROPOSED ZONING OF PROPERTY: SECTION NUMBER OF TEXT TO BE C ANGER: el REASON FOR REQUEST (please provide a written narrative that explains how the existing use of the property and the zoning class cation of other property within the general area are compatible with the proposed zoning classification.

DEPARTMENT: Community Development CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL: BY /DATE: Elizabeth Holmbeck 1/9/17 BY /DATE: BACKGROUND: At this time, Scenic Sign Corporation representing New Perspectives Senior Living is requesting a Variance to allow for the installation of a new monument sign for the property located at 3801 Hart Blvd. NE. The senior apartment complex, formerly known as the Lighthouse Apartments, has recently rebranded to be known as New Perspective Senior Living. The applicant is proposing to replace the existing monument sign on the property to reflect the new name of the building. The applicant is requesting a Variance to City Code to allow for a monument sign that exceeds the maximum allowed 16 square feet. The proposal calls for the sign face to be 24.20 square feet, with 5.8 square foot concrete pillars on either side of the sign face. The Variance request is to allow the monument sign to exceed the dimensional requirements by 8.2 square feet. The existing monument sign is located on the west side of the property as you enter the parking lot and is 35 square feet in size. The applicant is proposing to rebuild the sign closer to the street (Hart Blvd.). According to the City's Zoning Code, monument signs for this zoning classification have a maximum permitted height of 8 ft. The proposed sign would meet this requirement, as it would be just over 6 ft. tall. A rendering of the existing sign and proposed sign, which includes dimensions and placement, is attached for consideration. The application went before the Planning and Zoning Commission on January 4th, 2017.The applicant originally submitted a Variance application for a much larger proposed sign (see original planning report and meeting minutes). The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended unanimously the City Council to deny the Variance request. After the meeting, the applicant modified the rendering to depict a smaller version of the sign, and submitted an updated narrative. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council deny the Variance request for the proposed monument sign for the property located at 3801 Hart Blvd. Although the applicant has modified the proposed sign to a smaller size, which does seem more reasonable, the applicant has not submitted a request based on the Findings of Fact outlined in the City's Zoning Ordinance. These findings are required by the City Council in order to approve a Variance. Based on the application and renderings received for review, it is not evident there is a practical difficulty present in order to grant the Variance. While there appears to be no issue with the request to move the sign closer to the street (Hart Blvd) for visibility, no justification has been provided that demonstrates the application meets the Findings of Fact. A sample resolution has been provided, should the City Council decide to approve the Variance request. 164 City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Page 2 Motion: Move to close the public hearing and recommend that the City Council deny the Variance request for a monument sign for the property located 3801 Hart Blvd., due to the Findings of Fact not being met.

Whereas, a proposal (Case #2017 -0104) has been submitted by Scenic Sign Corporation, on behalf of New Perspective Senior Living, to the City Council, requesting a Variance from the City of Columbia Heights at the following site: ADDRESS: 3801 Hart Boulevard LEGAL DESCRIPTION: On file at City Hall. THE APPLICANT SEEKS THE FOLLOWING: 1) Waiver to Section 9.106 (P) (10) (a) (2)- allowing an identification sign on the property that exceeds the maximum allowable square footage of 16 sq. ft., by 8.2 sq. ft. Whereas, the Planning Commission has held a public hearing as required by the City Zoning Code on January 4, 2017. Whereas, the City Council has considered the advice and recommendations of the Planning Commission regarding the effect of the proposed Variance upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community and its Comprehensive Plan, as well as any concern related to traffic, property values, light, air, danger of fire, and risk to public safety, in the surrounding area; Now, therefore, in accordance with the foregoing, and all ordinances and regulations of the City of Columbia Heights, the City Council accepts and adopts the following findings of the Planning Commission: 1. Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the provisions of this article would cause practical difficulties in conforming to the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant, however, is proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the Zoning Ordinance. 2. The conditions upon which the variance is based are unique to the specific parcel of land involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification. 3. The practical difficulties are caused by the provisions of this article and have not been created by any person currently having a legal interest in the property. 4. The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. 166 Resolution No. 2017 -0105 Page 2 5. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development or value of property or improvements in the vicinity. Further, be it resolved, that the attached conditions, plans, maps, and other information shall become part of this Variance and approval; and in granting this Variance the city and the applicant agree that this Variance shall become null and void if the project has not been completed within one (1) calendar year after the approval date, subject to petition for renewal of the variance. CONDITIONS 1. The proposed sign must be moved at least 6 feet to the west to remain out of the City Water Main Easement which runs along Hart Blvd ORDER OF COUNCIL Passed this 9t" day of January, 2017 Offered by: Seconded by: Roll Call: Donna Schmitt, Mayor Attest: Katie Bruno, City Clerk /Council Secretary 167 C COLUMBIA HEIGHTS CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PLANNING REPORT CASE NUMBER: 2017 -0104 DATE: December 22, 2016 TO: Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission APPLICANT: Scenic Sign Corporation /New Perspectives Senior Living DEVELOPMENT: Monument Sign for Senior Apartments LOCATION: 3801 Hart Blvd. NE. REQUEST: Variance PREPARED BY: Elizabeth Holmbeck, City Planner INTRODUCTION At this time, Scenic Sign Corporation representing New Perspectives Senior Living is requesting a Variance to allow for the installation of a new monument sign for the property located at 3801 Hart Blvd. NE. The senior apartment complex, formerly known as the Lighthouse Apartments, has recently rebranded to be known as New Perspective Senior Living. The applicant is proposing to replace the existing monument sign on the property to reflect the new name of the building. The applicant is requesting a Variance to City Code to allow for a monument sign that exceeds the maximum allowed 16 square feet. The proposal calls for the sign face to be 52.25 square feet, with 10.4 square feet concrete pillars on either side of the sign face. The proposed sign is approximately 86 square feet in total. The Variance request is to allow the monument sign to exceed the dimensional requirements by 70 square feet. The existing monument sign is located on the west side of the property as you enter the parking lot and is 72 square feet in size. The applicant is proposing to rebuild the sign closer to the street (Hart Blvd.). According to the City's Zoning Code, monument signs for this zoning classification have a maximum permitted height of 8 ft. The proposed sign would meet this requirement, as it would be just over 6 ft. tall. A rendering of the existing sign and proposed sign, which includes dimensions and placement, is attached for consideration. ZONING ORDINANCE The property is located in the R -3 Multiple Family Residential Zoning District, as are the properties to the north. The properties to the west are zoned Public and Open Space. The 168 City of Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission January 4, 2017 Planning Report Page 2 properties to the south and east are located in the General Business Commercial Zoning District. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan designates this zoning district for high density residential. DESIGN GUIDELINES The subject property is not located within the Design Guideline Overlay District FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104 (G) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines five conditions that must be met in order for the City Council to grant Variances. They are as follows: a) Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the provisions of this article would cause practical difficulties in conforming to the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant, however, is proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the Zoning Ordinance. The application provided does not identify specific difficulties in conforming to the Zoning Ordinance. The property does not appear to have topographical or other unique conditions that pose a practical difficulty in conforming to the Zoning Ordinance. b) The conditions upon which the variances are based are unique to the specific parcel of land involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification. This parcel does not appear to have unique conditions as compared to the surrounding parcels. c) The practical difficulties are caused by the provisions of this article and have not been created by any person currently having a legal interest in the property. The application provided does not appear to identify a practical difficulty. d) The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan does not address signage for multiple family residential uses e) The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development or value of property or improvements in the vicinity. 169 City of Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission January 4, 2017 Planning Report Page 3 The proposed sign does not appear to be detrimental to the public welfare, use and development, or value of properties in the vicinity. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that the City Council deny the Variance request for the proposed monument sign for the property located at 3801 Hart Blvd. The applicant has not submitted a reasonable request based on the Findings of Fact outlined in the City's Zoning Ordinance, which are required by the City Council in order to approve a Variance. Based on the application and renderings received for review, it is not evident there is a practical difficulty present in order to grant the Variance. While there appears to be no issue with the request to move the sign closer to the street (Hart Blvd) for visibility, no justification has been provided that demonstrates the need for such a large sign on the residentially zoned property. The commercially zoned properties to the south and east are only allowed up to 50 square feet of signage. For this reason, and because the Findings of Fact have not been met, the request is not justifiable. A sample resolution has been provided, should the Planning and Zoning Commission decide to recommend approval. Motion: Move to close the public hearing and recommend that the City Council deny the Variance request for a monument sign for the property located 3801 Hart Blvd., due to the Findings of Fact not being met.

The narrative should fully explain the hardships) that justifies variation from the strict application of the Code. The terms "hardship" or "undue hardship" typically refer to physical characteristics of the property, such as shape, soil conditions, or topography. Neither mere inconvenience, nor reduction in value alone, is sufficient to justify a variance. The inability to put property to its highest and best use is not considered a hardship or practical difficulty. The problem that justifies the variance must be caused by conditions unique to the property and beyond the control of the applicant. The applicant cannot create the condition that requires the variance.)

Our Columbia Heights location was built back in 2008 -2009 as a multi residential housing venue for seniors needing assisted living and memory care services. Our current signage measures 35 sf. In the process of rebranding our community name from Lighthouse of Columbia Heights to our parent company name New Perspective Senior Living I Columbia Heights, we have found that our current sign was never properly permitted and a variance was never done to accommodate for the size difference from what the city code is. Due to our current sign not reflecting our new name and the services we provide, we are asking the city council to grant us a sign variance for a new sign that reflects our name change, services that we provide, a new location so that our sign can be seen better from the street and change the size from our current 35 sf to 24.2 sf. If we were able to reface our current sign we would, but due to material challenges with the engraved lime stone surface, stone post and base, we have found that is not an option because of the damage it would take to remove the current stone from the bases. Since these findings put us in a position that our current sign is non compliant we would like to move forward to try to accommodate the city code with a new sign that totals 24.2 sf. With the code requirements of 16 sf this change in size would have us asking for a 8.2 sf variance request for the new sign. A new sign would allow us to communicate our new name, find a better location that can be seen by people driving by from the community, and have us be closer to the size requirements of the city by a reduction from the current size we have by 19 sf Thank you for the consideration of this variance. We have proudly served the community of Columbia Heights for 9 years and look forward to many more happy years of helping seniors Iiving life on purpose. 175 7 i . i Fm - 1it� t t its w� o o=af r MNO Y aoo ZzzgOF no C ty �v °S�u'a.
